Great Day At Ryhope Engines Museum Classic Car Show

[bobhowe]

I am a frequent visitor to Kew Steam Museum, lovely engines!  You get an annual pass for entry and they have a rather good cafe too (only 20 minutes from home, breakfast and steam what is not to like?).  The engines are run quite often and you can climb the stairs of the engines (those Victorians really liked to show off their achievements) to see the various bits working.  Kempton steam is also quite close but not open that often, it has electrical bits too.
Both are well worth visiting.

Nice to see other steam Museums still exist the Rhyhope Engines Museum is owned and funded by Northumbrian Water and is staffed by volunteers that take pride in keeping it as a working attraction . There is no admission fee to pay at the steaming days and it is a static exhibit that is open every Sunday afternoon from 14.00 to 17.00 between Easter till the end of December and there is I nice Food / Tea room that is open on steaming days kind regards Bob
